First SMU Game You Attended?

I'm sure this post pops up all the time, but I thought I'd throw it out there just to break the cycle of coach search threads.

My first SMU game was in the Cotton Bowl against Texas A&M. I want to say it was 94 or 93 (I was only 10 or 11 at the time). I want to say the Aggies were ranked 5th in the nation at the time. SMU took the ball right down the field and scored on their opening position to go up 7-0. Things didn't go so well after that. I want to say the final score was 38-10 A&M.

Well lets hear it. First SMU football game.

Well that explains a lot about about your ignorant comments. You've never watched a real College Football team.

Nice talk sugar mouth. I would expect something like that from you. I've seen games at Texas, Michigan, Ohio State,Notre Dame, Florida State, Virginia Tech, UCLA (Pasadena), and the Rose Bowl. So yeah douchetits. I've never seen a real college football game.

1971 SMU vs. OU in Norman. When we left Dallas is was 80 degrees and sunshine. Arrived in Norman, it was 35 degrees and raining. One of the most miserable days I ever spent at a football game. Final score OU 30 SMU 0.

It kind of reminds me of our coaching search. Miserable.

Sorry, I just had to bring up the coaching search.

My first game was at the Cotton Bowl in 1964, when Hayden Fry led the Ponies to their only victory of the season, beating Texas-Arlington 14-0.

Within two years, they won the SWC.

1915 Beat Hendrix 13-2 Hendrix was so humiliated they were never to be heard from again. Didn't make the out of town game against TCU since I was in my, I don't go to out of town games mode which I have recently started again.

SMU vs. Wake Forest 1972 - Texas Stadium. We scored like 56 points. By the end of the game Peruna was running sideways, he was so tired.

I don't really remember which game, but my earliest memory of an SMU football game was seeing Mike Ford at QB. Putt Choate was a big hero too.

1979 - vs. Baylor. Age 9. First full season at Texas Stadium. My Dad bought me popcorn and a coke and I loved the atmosphere. Mustangs were losers that day, 21-24, but I was a fan for life from that day forward.

The Cotton Bowl game, December 31, 1966. Got clobbered by Georgia 24-9. Was also my first bowl game. Sad to think that in the ensuing 41 years, SMU has only been to 5 other bowl games. And 4 of those were in a single 5 year run.

Final meeting of SWC teams Texas and SMU in the Cotton Bowl in 1995. My dad is a UT alum and I was actually being taken to the game in an attempt to drum up my interest in the University of Texas.

Of course, that backfired :lol:

My first college game was SMU vs Vanderbilt in 1990. SMU won and I thought it was going to be a great year. Well, I was sadly mistaken and that bad year has turned into 17 more bad years...

1999 Arkansas 20 SMU 0 (I think that was the score) at the Cotton Bowl with an announced crowd of 50,00+, most supporting the razorbacks.

Not sure when my first SMU game was probably early 1960s maybe late 50s. Family has gone to games every season since before my memory. I have no memory of the 1963 SMU/Navy Game though-and it seems like I might have remembered that. Know I went to every game from 1965 on and maybe 1964.
